Chinese laundryman, who has been
the fortunate founder Of more soap suds

ing operations OH that property leading
many to the conclusion that nothing
would be done this season. The follow
ing taken from the Chicago Mining
,Rsuisw of the.zth inst would indicate
that The company had not abandoned
the enterprise, but would commence
operations in earnest sometime during
the month of August:
"Mr. +. II. Long, Of Chicago, who
negotiated the recent sale Of the Tin
Mountain mine in Custer county, d. IT,,
to Chicago parties, has at his office in
the Cortland Block, some fine specimens
Of tin ore and concentrates. He claims
the ore averages fifteen per cent with
assorted lots running to forty per cent.
The ore carries small per cent OF
silver just sufficient to give the tin a
brilliant luster.

Omcial Order.

As may be seen by reference to the
commissioners proceedings appearing
in this issue, W. c. Bower, county su.
perintendent, who is at present residing
and keeping his office at Hermosa, has
been officially ordered to move his
Office to the court house in this city
without any unnecessary delay. The
order of the commissioners is based
upon the requirements of the law,
which provides, that where a county is
supplied with public buildings, all
county officers shall keep their Offices
at the county seat; and for the non
compliance with such provision pen
atty is provided in sec. 10, chapter q, OF
the political code.
The superintendent will doubtless
realize the necessity, as well as the
policy Of immediate compliance with
the provisions of the statute, to which,
by the PRONUNCIATION of the order of the
commissioners, his attention has been
specially called

Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Three
states, Iowa, Kentucky and Virginia

syIvania only minor state officers are tc
be elected in addition to the legislatures
which, in whole or in part, are to be
elected. The centers Of interest, in q
wider view of politics, will be the elec
tions in New York and in those states
which vote on prohibition. The New
York election will be most of all re
garded with interest, because of the
clues which it is expected to furnish in
regard to the strength of the Henry

The Matter Dropped.

The following from the Oelrichs Timel
of the 10th inst. indicates that the mat
ter Of bonding Fall River county hs!
been definitely dropped:
"'The bonding Of the county question
has apparently been wisely settled by
the dropping Of the whole matter. Dent
let us attempt any loans and bnrdsnine
Of our people until We develop strength
and resources to warrant il on a big
scale. Let us be able to advertise the
county as being free of debt, and thus
induce settlers to come in. Honest men
from Iowa, Nebraska. Missouri, and in
fact from all over the country can't
know what this means until they come
Everyone east of the Mississippi River
looks upon the fact that our glorious
west is huge swindle for the benefit OF
a few boodlers. Let us set the example
for the thwestern corner Of Dakota
and declare ourselves honest in the in
tcrest of bonafde settlers, and not
boodlers."

am doing them to the tune Of $4,000 a

and never will be again, and, with my
European reputation, YOU can easily
guess the business will do when / get
back TO my own country.

Stock Withdra wu.

The London Financial News of June
oath is authority for the statement tina,
the Harney Peak Tin company has
withdrawn its stock from the market
and that all monies paid in has been re-
turned to the subscribers.
The protracted absence Of MIR. Wilson
of New York, whose arrival in the Hills
has been 50 unexpectedly deEarredfn
several months, would seem to give
color to the statement, and force upon
US the bitter belief that the we'll direct
ed efforts Of resident blackmaier have
resulted in the defeat or the plans OF
Mr. Wilson for the establishment Of a
mining enterprise in our midst, which
in point of honorable conception, favor
able outlook for profit, magnitude OF
operation, measure OF benefit, and ma
tional importance, has never before
been conceived in the history of Ameri-
can mining. While it is possible that
when the bottom facts have been

oughly exposed, the merits Of the prop
erty fairly understood, and the infamous
designs of this cunning calumniator
laid bare to English perception, re-
organization may yet intervene; we
cannot dismiss the impression, that in
any event, plans will be perfected for
the extensive operation of our tin
properties through the unwavering
enterprise of the Harvey Peak Tin COM
pany at no distant day. 1t is difficult to
believe, and grossly unreasonable to
suppose, that such vast amount of tin
property as this company own, possess
ing, as it unquestionably does, such
marvellous merit, should, for any con
derable period, remain dormant and
imperative.
The outlook, while it may not be as
promising as 1t appeared few weeks
ago, is by no means discouraging, and
should not when fairly considered, be
SO regarded; our final triumph, although
possibly temporarily retarded by an
infamous detractor, is nevertheless as
sured by every just and reasonable
consideration.

The new superintendent. Mr.. Crost

The new superintendent, Mr.. Crosby,
a practical miner Of large experience,
arrived last night and is making an
examination of the property belonging
to the Greenwood company. Money is
expected to arrive to- day with which to
pay off the men and debts incurred by
Runkle, former superintendent. Our
informant, Mr.. James Farrell, who has
been employed in the erection of the
hoist, uses strong language to express
his contempt Of the management oi
Runkle, who, he says, has expended
nearly $4,000 in development and al
he has to show for it is a few gopher
holes and the main shaft has only been
sunk twenty feet deeper. The vein has
widened and at dept of 100 feet is nine
feet in width and gives promise OF
developing into mine. Mr.. Farrel
thinks the mine will under the manage
ment Of Mr.. Crosby, be made sue
cess.-Pioneer.

Castle Chief.

1t will be remembered that a short
time ago we published an announce
ment Of the formation Of the above
company whose property is located on
Little Rapid. The ground owned or
iginally by the company was the Basil
which was augmented by bonding the
Fairview. Harry Gregg, president OF
the company, is at present at Milwaukee
and succeeded in placing $4,000 shares
Of the stock at 45 cents share. Out OF
the sum realized $4,000 will be paid for
the Fairview in addition to which the
owners, Ofienbacher ct AL, will receive
5000 shares of the capitol stock of the
company. The balance of the money
realized from the sale will be used tC
put up the ten stamp mill owned by the
company, construction Of bitches, etc
The Fairview is one of the richest mines
in the Hills as it has in addition to {
large body Of low grade ore vein about
two feet wide which will average 49,
per ton. The promoters in their pros
pectus promise to pay 80 cents in divi-
dends the first year. Persons acquaint
ed with the property say that with good
and economical management this car
be done easily. Final negotiations were
completed by telegraph Thursday. We
understand that work will begin at once
and that inside of four weeks the mi |
will be in operation. Pioneer.

Lost CABIN.

The annual period has arrived when
the average Deadwood prospector be
takes himself to regions remote toward
the setting sun, for the golden purpose
Of restoring to the world the glittering
wealth, which by Indian invasion, and
other unfortunate circumstances, Incl
dent to the life of the placer prospector
in the far west, have faded into the
veriest reminescence, together with all
the lost cabins belonging thereto, or in
anywise appertalning. The Times and
Pioneer note the departure of a number
Of outfits for the reputed gold bearing
regions situate about 200 miles north
west Of Deadwood, which have been re-
ceiving the assiduous attention Of pros
pectors since II with barren results.
While we wish it may be otherwise, our
experience in expeditions of this char
acter, lead us to the grave conclusion,
that the "lost cabin" will still remain a
legend of the dead past; and that it is
better to develop the mines we have,
than to wander afar, and seek for others
we know not Of.

The omission Of the cone degree
we regard as being proper enough; as
to have added it, would only have been
repeating what could be readily in
ferred from the reading Of the letter
itself 1t is alway well enough to avoid
unnecessary repetition.

Intolerable Heat.

"Oh for a boundess contiguty of

pools of polar lemonade !"
From the above extract, taken from
the Hot Springs Star of the 10Th inst
we can but infer that the heat is be-
coming intolerable in that otherwise
charming health resort; and while we
cannot promise unlimited shade, noun
tains of ice cream, or lakes of polar
lemonade, we can safely guarantee an
area Of refreshing shade which will be
ample to accommodate the entire popu-

We further promise you, upon rates
more reasonable than prevail in your
own Locality night Of the most invigor-
ating sleep, undisturbed by annoying
bugs or oppressive heat, that ever came

Come to the Altorf of America, where,
pure air prevails, and gentle zephyr'

a reminescence. Come to Custer we
pitiful victims of torridity and enjoy an

only for single day, that you may
